With work included in London's Victoria and Albert Museum, designer Terence Woodgate is known for combining compelling wood details and discreet functionality – e.g., his Sussex Collection, with doors and drawers seamlessly integrated into the louvered fronts. The Sussex Media Unit (2008) has cord escapes and soft-closure doors that flip up and slide into pockets in the frame. The richly grained wood veneer is carefully chosen by hand for consistency from controlled and sustainably farmed forests. Ships with base unattached. Assembly required. Made in Spain.
